Chapter 110: Cao Family Conditions
Li Che's deep eyes hid black waves, and he asked as if he had no intention of asking, "I heard that she is eighteen years old and has not yet married, I don't know why she has been delayed here?" ”
The corners of Taishi Cao's mouth raised slightly when he heard this: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, my daughter's vision is extremely high, and no man has ever been able to enter her eyes." ”
"Oh?" Li Che raised his eyebrows: "I don't know that this palace may be able to enter her eyes?" ”
Taishi Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, he looked up at Li Che and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is the dragon and phoenix among people, she can only look up and how can she ever say that she will enter her eyes." ”
Li Che nodded: "Taishi Cao has already entered the prince's mansion with a daughter, I don't know if the palace asks Taishi Cao to offer a daughter again, can the prince cut his love?" ”
"It is her blessing that the little girl can be favored by the prince." Taishi Cao's eyes were full of joy: "It's too late for the old minister to rejoice, how can he be reluctant to say it." ”
Li Che's deep eyes drooped slightly: "Since this is the case, the palace will show my father and the emperor, and I am willing to marry Cao Ying, the youngest daughter of the Taishi, as the side concubine, what is the Taishi's opinion." ”
When Taishi Cao heard that the second concubine stiffened, he seemed to be a little reluctant, but when he saw Li Che looking at him, he swallowed all the reluctance and knelt on the ground to thank him.
Li Che waved his hand: "Get up." ”
Cao Taishi and Cao Hong both got up, Li Che looked at the two of them as if they had no intention of speaking: "Today, the palace and Liu Xuan had an appointment to have a small gathering in Yipinxiang, but the palace affairs were busy and delayed, she was unhappy and drank a few more glasses, and the palace heard about it and went to pick it up in person, she was already drunk and the palace took it to the prince's mansion to rest. ”
Master Cao's slender eyes narrowed slightly. He bowed down and said: "Your Highness's affection is reasonable, and it is naturally a good story." ”
"Since the master is like this, this palace is relieved." Li Che glanced at Taishi Cao and Cao Hong lightly, and then said: "It's not early, if Taishi Cao and your son are fine, go back and rest early." ”
Cao Taishi and Cao Hong retreated in response, and after leaving the prince's mansion, Cao Hong lowered his voice and said unwillingly: "Father, we have such a good hand, just to get the position of a concubine for our sister?" ”
Taishi Cao snorted coldly: "You know a fart!" The crown prince is no longer the prince of many years ago, and it is the limit to be able to coerce him to do so. What's more, he put that Liu Xuan on the tip of his heart. We must leave the concubine position to her, if we take it by force, we are afraid that the prince will be in a hurry, which will be unfavorable to my Cao family. ”
Cao Hong narrowed his eyes: "So what." Just as my father said. If the Holy One knows about it. will definitely point out that Liu Xuan to the child, the prince is the prince after all, can he violate the holy will? ”
When Taishi Cao heard this, his face was furious: "You are embarrassed to say." You're so slow to let you get a woman, and you let her stay innocent and wait for the prince to come to the rescue!"
Taishi Cao obviously sprinkled his anger on Cao Hong: "You don't know how much the Holy Lord loves the prince, naturally I don't know that this matter will be in the end, and we can't bargain at all!" If you ruin Liu Xuan's innocence, it's fine, but now she is not damaged at all, and the position of the side concubine is already your sister's limit! ”
After he finished speaking, he waved his big sleeves angrily and went first, Cao Hong looked at him and left angrily, but the corners of his lips raised and smiled slightly, if he really ruined Liu Xuan's innocence today, his father still thought that he could come back alive?
He has more than one son, but he has only one life, and he knows who is lighter and who is heavier.
After Cao Taishi and Cao Hong left, there was silence in the study.
After half a ring, Li Che rubbed his forehead with one hand and sighed softly: "Today's events must not be known to her." ”
This she naturally refers to Liu Xuan, Sun Xun and Liu Zhiqing nodded with bitter faces, but Long Yi said: "After all, this matter can't be contained in paper, Miss Liu will know one day, not to mention that His Royal Highness will marry a side concubine, it will be a happy event for the whole world to celebrate, how can you hide it from Miss Liu?" ”
Li Che showed a hint of helplessness that everyone had never seen: "If you can hide it for a while, you can hide it for a while, according to her temperament, if she knows about it......"
Liu Xuan's temperament is very clear to the three of them, hearing Li Che's helpless words, the three of them are also speechless, if she knew about this, the three of them knew that she would not cry like an ordinary woman, but her reaction was that the three of them did not want to think about it, she was the one who jumped away, but she was afraid that she would not be angry when she knew about it, but to escape.
Now she is no longer the person she was when she was in Yizhou, and now she still has Deng Yu to help, if she really wants to escape and stay away from everyone, with Deng Yu's help, I am afraid that even her own master will be difficult to find.
Liu Zhiqing spoke: "Just like Long Yiyi, this matter can't be covered by paper after all, in this case, you might as well tell her directly, she is not an ordinary woman, with her intelligence but she will be able to understand the master's painstaking efforts." ”
Li Che glanced at him when he heard this: "You have been with her for three years, you should understand what her temper is, if she knows about this matter, although she will be considerate, she will not treat the palace as before." ”
Everyone has ever seen their master suffer from gains and losses as he does now, and they are all a little silent at the moment.
Li Che waved his hand: "It's still early to marry the side concubine, although the palace should do this, it has not said when to marry, and it will be said until next year." ”
Liu Zhiqing heard that he had a plan in his heart, and said with joy at the moment: "What the master said is very true, first drag that Cao Taishi, if His Royal Highness can marry Liu Xuan before marrying the side concubine, even if she marries Cao Ying, as long as His Royal Highness guards Liu Xuan and does not leave, she naturally can't do anything." ”
Li Che's deep eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, obviously a little moved.
Sun Xun couldn't help but give Liu Zhiqing a look of praise, Liu Zhiqing was slightly proud, he was the number one talent in the world, how could such a trivial matter stump him.
However, he was only happy for a moment, and after the light flashed in Li Che's eyes, it darkened again, and said in a low voice: "She doesn't like the battle in the inner house, and the palace doesn't want her to get involved in the battle in the inner house." ”
His master actually cared for Liu Xuan so much, and Long Yi and the others were suddenly a little speechless.
Liu Zhiqing couldn't help but persuade: "She naturally understands the master's intentions for her sister-in-law, but the identity of the master is here, even if she doesn't want to face it in the future, the battle between the inner house is not in the woman, but in the man." If the man is bent on the rest of the women, no matter how much they toss, it will be in vain, and the master will protect her and watch her, and put those dirty things away, she will naturally not be involved in the inner house fight. ”
What Liu Zhiqing said was very reasonable, Sun Xun and Long Yi nodded in unison, and Long Yi, who had always been silent, couldn't help but open his mouth: "What Zhiqing said is very true, the master might as well adopt this method." ”
Li Che thought for a moment, and then sighed: "That's it, let Gu think about it." ”
Now that they know that Liu Xuan is still in the Prince's Mansion, Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun will no longer stay and retreat.
Li Che left the study and went to the soup pool to bathe and change clothes. Then he walked slowly towards his bedroom. The lights in the bedroom had been extinguished, obviously Liu Xuan had fallen asleep, Qiu Ju and Dongmei were guarding the door, and saw Li Che saluting one after another.
Li Che waved his hand and motioned for the two to get up. Glancing at the dark room, he asked lightly, "She slept?" ”
Qiu Ju whispered softly. Li Che nodded slightly, and stood still outside the door.
Dongmei and Qiu Ju glanced at each other. Both raised their hands and gently opened the bedroom door.
Li Che saw the door open, and couldn't help but glance at Dongmei and Qiu Ju, who were bowing their heads, and then closed their eyes and slowly walked into the bedroom.
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei gently closed the door again. He was about to snicker, but he heard Long Yi, who was standing not far away, softly ordered, "You two should also go down and rest." ”
Qiu Ju and Dongmei whispered, and both smiled and retreated.
Li Che entered the room and looked at Liu Xuan's little face carefully through the moonlight through the window, she closed her eyes and her long eyelashes cast a faint light shadow, her breathing was very even, and she was obviously sleeping soundly.
It was the depths of winter at the moment, and she didn't kick the quilt away like she was drunk that day, but honestly shrunk herself in the quilt.
Li Che looked at her appearance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he took off his shirt, shoes and socks, and went to bed with only a middle coat.
He lifted the quilt and lay behind Liu Xuan, the cold wind entered Liu Xuan seemed to be a little dissatisfied, she pouted and shrunk herself into a ball, Li Che stayed quietly in the quilt for a while, until his body had become warm and there was no trace of coolness, then he reached out to hug her.
The warm breath came after itself, Liu Xuan involuntarily turned over, rolled towards the warm embrace, she stretched out her hand to hug Li Che, and then snailed into his arms, and gently rubbed Li Che's chest with her little face, only then did she let out a sigh of satisfaction, and fell asleep again.
Li Che looked at her appearance, and the blackness in her deep eyes turned into a pool of water, calm but turbulent.
Just looked at her sleeping face like this for a long time, and then reached out to soften her hair, feeling the softness of his palm, he slowly closed his eyes.
On the second day, as soon as the sky turned white, Li Che woke up, and after a while, it was the time of the previous dynasty, and he wanted to get up but found that he was being held by Liu Xuan.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he stretched out his hand to hold her leaf, wanting to remove it from his waist, but as soon as he moved Liu Xuan away, he pouted to express his dissatisfaction, and then climbed up to his waist again.
After going back and forth like this a few times, Li Che couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and he called softly: "Ah Xuan, let go of the palace, the palace is going to the court." ”
Liu Xuan was sleeping in a daze, and she hadn't figured out the situation at all, and she was suddenly a little dissatisfied when she heard that she let go of the warm pillow, she gently rubbed Li Che's chest, and replied vaguely: "Don't let go." ”
Although there were only two words, the soft words made Li Che's eyes darken suddenly, and he sighed almost inaudibly and called again: "Ah Xuan, this palace is going to the court." ”
"Going to court?" Hearing the word Chao, Liu Xuan finally woke up a little, she slowly opened her eyes, and it was Li Che's deep eyes that met her, Liu Xuan suddenly came back to her senses and remembered where she was from, she came back to her senses and saw that she was holding Li Che's hands, and her face suddenly turned red and let go quickly.
The corners of Li Che's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't pay attention to her shyness, but got up straight and got out of bed.
Liu Xuan buried herself in the quilt with a red face, secretly looked at his tall and majestic figure, listened to him call people into the house with a clear voice, watched him wash under the service of everyone, and watched everyone put on the solemn and noble prince court dress for him without blinking.
At this moment, Li Che seems to be arrogant and arrogant.
Liu Xuan blinked her eyes, watching him slowly walk towards herself, she shrunk into the quilt, watched him raise the corners of her lips slightly, and heard him say softly: "It's still early, you can rest for a while." ”
She nodded stunnedly, and Li Che retracted the corners of her lips and turned around and strode away.
A group of servants followed Li Che out, and silence returned to the room.
But Liu Xuan lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, she blushed like fire, and she couldn't remember when Li Che went to bed, and she couldn't remember when she took the initiative to nest in his arms and hugged him so tightly.
It turned out that the big stove in the confusion last night was Li Che, Liu Xuan pulled up the quilt and stuffed himself in the quilt, the quilt was full of Li Che's clear fragrance, Liu Xuan couldn't help but be shy when she smelled it.
It turned out that there was a person sleeping next to her who felt like this, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly while blushing, well, if it was him, it wouldn't feel bad.
Although she couldn't sleep, it was really early, Liu Xuan poked her head out and silently watched the sky gradually turn white, until the sky was bright, she got up to call people.
Qiu Ju and Dongmei heard Liu Xuan's call and immediately pushed the door in, both of them had smiles on their faces, Liu Xuan had already calmed down her shame, and when she saw the laughter of the two, she only raised her eyebrows and did not speak.
The two waited for Liu Xuan to wash and change clothes, this dress was taken back to Liu's mansion last night, and after combing Liu Xuan's hair bun, Qiu Ju asked, "Did Miss sleep well last night?" ”
In the face of this deliberate joke, Liu Xuan shut up and remained silent, and Dongmei on the side smiled and said: "Qiu Ju, what are you asking, Your Highness takes care of Miss and sleeps naturally at night, but I don't know if Miss is still sleeping in an indecent position like last time, but looking at His Highness's look today, Miss should not have tossed last night." ”
Liu Xuan frowned slightly when she heard this: "Last time? ”
Why did she hear Dongmei's words a little strange? What do you mean by last average? What is an indecent sleeping position? She had a faint premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, her premonition came true, and Dongmei nodded and snickered in her puzzled gaze: "Last time, Miss drank with Prince Ning Wang, but she was drunk and lost her manners, and she never refused to rest properly after returning to the room, or His Royal Highness the Prince hugged Miss and slept for one night, and Miss was born peacefully." ”
Liu Xuan was embarrassed when she heard this, she was drunk and out of shape and was actually seen by Li Che? He still hugged himself and slept all night that day?
However, these are not the reasons for Liu Xuan's embarrassment, what she is embarrassed is that she lost her temper after drinking that night, and she doesn't know if Li Che saw it? If you see......
Liu Xuan felt that she was a little faceless to see him, and the world said that the water-based poplar flower was nothing more than that.
She coughed lightly and cautiously tentatively asked, "When did His Highness go that night?" ”
Qiu Ju didn't know why Liu Xuan had this question, but she still answered honestly: "When His Highness went down, the young lady was already asleep, and when the prince of King Ning was about to send the young lady back to the room, His Royal Highness and the dragon commander arrived.
